One of the
manifestations practiced, and promoted in the
Toronto Blessing Movement, as well as in similar
renewal and revival movements.
A person who is "doing the crunches" acts as if he or she is being punched in the stomach. He doubles over, and usually utters something like "oooh!" It is claimed to be an indication of the presence of the
Holy Spirit, and proponents seriously see it as such.
There is no
biblical justification for this phenomenon.
